Sunday night’s TNA Genesis took place at the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas and saw Joe Hendry become TNA World Champion, while Jordynne Grace seemingly had her final promotional match against Tessa Blanchard. However, following last week’s announcement that WWE and TNA have agreed to a multi-year working partnership, some of “WWE NXT”‘s biggest stars appeared at last night’s event.
Prior to Hardys TNA World Tag Team Title defense against The Rascalz, NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom shockingly appeared before the action began and took a seat at ringside to watch the match take place. unfold. Fraxiom accidentally got involved when Trey Miguel dove outside the ring in an attempt to hit Matt Hardy, but collided with Frazer and Axiom, leading to the “NXT” duo being escorted away from the ring after the incident . This coming Thursday, Fraxiom will now defend his titles against The Rascalz on TNA Impact.
After Masha Slamovich defeated Rosemary to retain her TNA Knockouts World Championship, Cora Jade appeared and came face to face with the champion in the middle of the ring. Slamovich appeared on “NXT” last Tuesday, which caught Jade’s attention after he defeated Kelani Jordan. It remains to be seen when the two women will have the opportunity to step into the ring together, and whether Slamovich will put her title on the line against Jade if the match comes to fruition.
Ashante “Thee” Adonis also appeared on the TNA Genesis pre-show, issuing an open challenge to which Jake Something responded. The impromptu match ended four minutes after Something defeated Adonis in dominant fashion.
